MDMA use usually starts at parties, dance clubs or places of celebration. Often, people are unaware of how much the drug can affect their bodies and minds if more MDMA, also known as Molly or Ecstasy, is taken over time. MDMA use can lead to physical and psychological dependence, causing a wide array of MDMA withdrawal symptoms when individuals try to stop using.
Many people try home remedies to alleviate MDMA withdrawal symptoms as they stop taking the drug. But these home remedies, also sometimes called holistic remedies, are usually ineffective and never treat the underlying cause of the addiction. Without professional addiction treatment from experienced, certified providers, MDMA withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and even dangerous. Additionally, without treating the root issues that led to addiction, the patient will simply relapse or develop an addiction to a different substance.
There are several factors that determine the severity of MDMA withdrawal symptoms. When users stop taking the drug, if their body and brain are dependent on it, withdrawal symptoms can be worse or easier to bear than for someone else who has taken MDMA. These factors influencing MDMA, Ecstasy or Molly withdrawal symptoms include:
When MDMA is used, serotonin levels in the brain are depleted. It can take a very long time—months or longer—for patients to recover from lost serotonin levels and for the brain to return to more normal and stable functioning. This creates a particularly dangerous withdrawal from MDMA, as patients are so deeply affected mentally, emotionally and psychologically.
